Either use the legacy drivers for your 1394 interface or do as I did and just download HD24 Tools program until Alesis makes a device that works on modern operating systems! Don't stay up late waiting for Alesis to do that. Ask yourself when the last firmware upgrade for the HD34 was.

Use Add/Remove Programs to remove that '1.05' version.
Visit the ALESIS web-site, and click on "get support",
and tell them that the '1.05' version does not work with 64-bit Vista,
and ask them what they recommend.

You do need the drivers installed. look for the device CD or disc and install it. but if you already have the drivers installed and you still get the same message, its possible that your usb device is bad or there might be bad connection between the usb device and your computer... try to use another usb port or try to plug your device to another computer to try and isolate the problem.

Alesis published a patch for the HD24 which involves adding a 2200uF capacitor to the HD24, which solves this problem for some drives that never mounted before. As electrolytic capacitors age, their capacity reduce- which may cause this problem. It may well be you can fix this problem by replacing the existing 2200uF capacitor with a fresh one, keeping the polarity of the capacitor in mind of course.
